Official summary

"issue: 16my customers are reporting an unnecessary mislock chirp/horn sounding whilst driving, washing or during raining conditions. Cause: the tailgate gesture sensitivity can detect water passing over the bumper(s). The vehicle believes access is being requested, but the key fob is not in close proximity. Hence the miss lock sound."

What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
